Ella Langley and Riley Green brought their red-hot duet, “You Look Like You Love Me,” to the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday evening. 

Fallon declared the song “my jam right now” as he introduced the Alabama natives to the stage. 

Before delivering the famous opening verse of the song, Langley took a moment to dedicate their performance to “all the men and women who are currently and who have served this country” in honor of Veterans Day.

Sporting a black mini dress with a pop of gold across the chest and black stiletto boots, Langley kicked off the performance with the spoken-word first verse as Green, who donned a cowboy hat, jeans, and a pearl snap button-up, plucked his guitar.

Green effortlessly delivered his verse before they came together on the chorus singing, “Excuse me/ You look like you love me/ You look like you want me/ To want you to come on home/ And baby, I don’t blame you/ For lookin’ me up and down across this room/ I’m drunk and I’m ready to leave/ And you look like you love me.”

While on set in New York City, the tour mates were surprised with plaques celebrating the single’s platinum status.

Their performance came as “You Look Like You Love Me” continues to dominate the charts. Currently, the song is sitting inside the Top 10 at country radio and is still climbing.
